Top 4 Best Wheelbarrow for Landscaping – Expert Picks for Quality & Performance

Customer Review: “When I took delivery, the tub had a puncture in it, most likely from the parts jostling around during shipment. I immediately contacted Gorilla for a parts replacement. Their website made it very easy to find the part and request warranty repair. Within a day, they approved and shipped me out a replacement tub! A few days later, it arrived and I swapped the damaged tub for the new tub! A few things of note about this experience and product: 1) Gorillas warranty is pretty hassle free and their website is easy to navigate. They have a parts breakdown of everything, so if in the future a part is damaged, looks to be easily replaceable/repairable. 2) Their cart’s design is pretty awesome. Really easy to install and uninstall parts. At first, I thought the screw holes in the tub were some extra flash, but it’s designed that way to hold the bolts while you work with the nuts. All the nuts using the same 13mm nut size is so convenient! 3) The cart is awesome. I wished I got one sooner. Very easy to steer around the property, load it with whatever, and easily dump! It’s lightweight and perfect for my needs. I just wish the handle was swappable cuz I got a small RC lawnmower that can tow this thing. Overall: I am impressed with this cart, but mostly impressed with the company. I can only imagine another company wanting me to ship the whole thing back or just refunding me a certain amount to appease me. Gorilla makes great stuff and looks to stand behind their product! I’m glad I went with Gorilla!”

Customer Review: “Should have bought one of these years ago. Have had this over a month and it’s proved its value, making moving stuff around the yard far easier than a wheelbarrow (one or two wheeled). No lifting and supporting a weight with your back. No pushing 80# of something uphill. Yes, you have to pull the handle, but you can do that with a lot less stress on your back if done correctly. In fact, the right movements are good for your back. Also paid more for this newer model that had the new lifting mechanism. I didn’t see anything visibly wrong with the old one, and have no experience with it, but this new one works great. The way the back wheels sort of fold under the cart dumps most or almost all the weight. Then just pull it forward to clear. Small turning radius. Important for maneuvering. Rugged but not heavy (33#). Assembly was straightforward, intuitive, with clear instructions and no missing parts. Didn’t need 6 cubic feet. 4 ft and 600# capacity is as much as I want to handle as well as the overall dimensions (fit through storage doorway). Went with the non-pneumatic tires after having replaced a pneumatic wheel on a wheelbarrow, and enduring repairs, etc., etc. Compare the cost of buying 4 non-pneumatic wheels in the future once you get frustrated, with just buying this model outright. If you get the pneumatic tires, you’ll love the cart but end up hating the tires. Good luck.”

Customer Review: “I purchased this wheelbarrow for my barn after looking for something to use to tote horse manure to the manure pile. All the products for ‘barns’ were too expensive and not what I was looking for. This wheelbarrow is made well, easy to put together, lightweight and easy to push or pull. It has a plastic bucket which is nice since it will not rust. The tires are fabulous—a combo of innertube and sturdy rubber. I used it for the first time this morning and am so very pleased. It is not the kind of wheelbarrow that you would mix concrete in, but it’s a great wheelbarrow for the price and for the lightweight application I need it for.”

Customer Review: “The description said, and still says that this item is 25 inches wide. It is actually 27 inches wide from axle end to axle end. We have a garden gate that is 27.5 inches wide, and so this is hard to squeeze through there. Assembly was simple, but not easy if you find it hard to bend and work on the ground/floor. Ignore the included small 5mm Allen wrench and small 13mm wrench, and use much larger ones if you have them. You also need pliers for the cotter pins and a pump to inflate tires to around 20 PSI. You get one extra cotter pin. Stock up on 1.5″ pins for future tire changes etc. The 14-inch tires roll easily over loose gravel etc. This type of foam rubber handgrip always rots in the sun, so park it in shade if you can.”

Customer Review: “Easy, really easy to assemble, you do need a pair of pliers or better a small Crescent wrench, you also need your handy little pocket knife to cut through some packing and the plastic cover over the parts card. Supplied with it comes an Allen wrench, for basic assembly. Use the Crescent only to finish tighten assorted bolts and nuts. Assembled very quickly, probably under 15 minutes—but I did not time it. I do think the cotter pins holding the wheels on the axle were a little light, but I don’t intend on using this for terrible heavy work either. So they may be OK. I don’t think it would stand up to lots of heavy haul, but I bought it for leaves and such.”

Customer Review: “I’ve read reviews about this cart being toy size, I disagree. I moved 27 cubic yards of mulch this spring using this cart. It is of the right size to slip in between the shrubbery and dump the mulch where it was needed, no need to shovel off the cart. The large wheels made it easy to maneuver it over dips in the yard, stone pathways, etc. You need to keep in mind that it isn’t made of steel and is not intended to mix concrete or haul a load of bricks or other heavy-duty jobs, but it still can do many jobs and is definitely not a toy. Assembly is a bit tricky. The instructions state to not tighten anything until everything is in place and screws have been started before tightening everything down. I followed this and I would say that rule is almost mandatory.”

Customer Review: “As an aging, but still avid gardener with back issues and arthritis, I’m always looking for tools that make it possible for me to continue to garden. This fits the bill perfectly. I’m thrilled with the performance and design of this cart. The low to the ground design makes it much easier to load, and provides excellent stability. The pneumatic tires have zero issue dealing with all sorts of terrain without the cart tipping or becoming hard to move. The build quality throughout is very good—it has a very solid feel, and the plastic tub is thick and sturdy. I was especially impressed with how easy it was to put together. The instructions are clear, and all the fasteners are grouped by assembly step. I was able to assemble it by myself in about 10 minutes. You will need a 13mm wrench or socket for assembly. While most of the time I’m using it to haul 100 pounds or less, I did use it to haul 240 pounds (three 80-pound concrete sacks). Based on how well it performed with that, I’d say the claimed 300-pound capacity is accurate. One of my best gardening tool purchases to date—five stars.”

Customer Review: “I read that this cart has a lower center of gravity, which would make it easier to carry a given amount of load in this cart compared to a standard one-wheel wheelbarrow. That’s what I wanted and I completely agree! It carries a lot, very easily. It’s interesting actually, because looking at it filled—it looks very heavy, it looks like it would be hard to move. But the design works so well that it was actually surprising when I filled it and moved it for the first time. For my purposes, it’s 100% better than a one-wheel wheelbarrow. Having two wheels, there may be some places where the cart can’t go, compared to something with one wheel, but that depends on what you have in your yard. Even with having two wheels, I find it easy to maneuver. I would say that controlling direction and speed is as easy with this one as it is with a one-wheel one, but it may take some time to learn and get used to two wheels if you aren’t used to that. Because of its lower center of gravity and stability with two wheels, I’d actually say it’s easier to move than a one-wheel cart. It is plastic and metal, and both parts seem sturdy and strong. The weakest point seems to be the folding mechanism, as the knobs are plastic, and I assume using them would wear them down at some point. But I don’t plan to mess with that, so I assume that it will remain fairly strong for a long time. Would be an easy fix if needed, so it isn’t really a negative for me. I don’t need it to fold, but I’m sure that’s useful for others. Tires come filled with air and are sturdy. It was easy to build and is very strong and sturdy. It’s an awesome cart—I 100% recommend it.”
